-long sleeved t-shirts: yes thats right. tonight was perfect long sleeved t-shirt weather. cool, but not cold enough to need a coat. long sleeved tee's are so comfy. i feel so perfect in them... and they go with basically anything. tonight it was black converse. they are especially good in movie theaters, and to wear to bed. i dont know why. but who agrees that they are awesome?
-puyallup forza baristas: i really do have the best possible job for where i am at in life. and my number one reason for loving my job: my co-workers. katie and i were planning on seeing a movie together, when some of the guys from work texted us to see if we wanted to meet them for a different movie later. it was at that moment when we ran into michelle... another girl from work... and we all ended up going to lakewood to see eagle eye. it was a huge forza party! its great that we love each other so much that even after work is over we want to hang out together! haha.
-old navy: old navy never fails me when it comes to that random clothing item i actually NEED. a random pair of shoes that match an even more random shirt? old navy has them. socks that match my eyes? old navy has them. in today's case, it was a dress to wear for matthew and courtney's wedding. yes, they had the dress! and what's even better? the item you need is ALWAYS on sale at old navy. woo!!!
-chapstick: fall is just sneaking in around here... and i can already feel the chapped lips beginning. but oh how i love chapstick! so soft and wonderful and the vanilla flavor smells so good i just want to eat it!!
-fall: i dont think words can describe how much i really do love fall. football. fog. crisp air. red, orange, and yellow leaves. leaf piles. rain. jackets. hoodies. rainboots. gloves. heat in the car. caramel apple cider. warm pajamas. socks. blankets. scarves.
i just love sunday nights. i am like, on a high from the entire weekend. my whole week builds up to sunday. its like the end of the week... you know? i get really pumped for church and stuff, and afterwards i am just like... AWESOME!!!!! especially tonight. do you know why? of course not, that is why i am about to tell you...
I HAVE TWO FULL DAYS OFF WORK AT FORZA!!
i love love love loveeee my job, but i also love sleep. which i havent gotten enough of for the past 10 days. my energy level is so low, and it makes me sad. i am giving 100 percent at work, to my friends, at the church... and i just need to sleep for like 12 hours. which is what i am about to do. 10pm to 10am. then its off to adamo in the morning for coffee with julia and miles. oh miles oman. he is such a funny kid. i am excited to get some coffee and watch him drink his 'chock-lit melk'.
which reminds me. i seriously just love kids. they are so awesome. i talked to sloan tonight at church. she's 3... and like, a genius kid. like dax when he was 1. haha. she showed me her tatoos on her hands, and then invited me to her school again. then i spun the norris kids around until i was so dizzy i almost fell over. easton is easy to spin. he's 5. lee is a little harder... and i pretty much failed at spinning jane. her knees drug on the gym floor. i told her she was too tall. haha. and playing and talking with all these kids makes me SO EXCITED to see dax and cole and emily and corey and to meet peyton and just... ahhh i cant wait!! only ten days till i leave. but for now... sleep.
ohhh i love sleep. i am just happy to sleep right now. yay.
whoaaa, i just had a revelation: my life is comcastic. ahaha. you know... like high-speed? and comcast is high speed internet? oh geez i am such a loser but i just cant make myself backspace that thought. its too great. anyway...
12 days till i head south for a week... i don't even know what to say. okay i do, i am SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i am also a little nervous. i am not ready at all, and i have so so much going on here that i feel like i will come back to a hurricane of craziness. it is definitely worth it though.
tonight was our 5th quarter party. i am going to have to go with: it was awesome! ha. i had so much fun, and met a lot of high schoolers i didnt know. which is my job, and i love it. aaron and michael did a parody from flight of the concords. it was amazing! they did it tuesday night too... but i think they perfected it tonight. "... of course not! we adopted! it was a very difficult process i cannot believe you don't remember it!" we have some very talented people. lets see: i DIDN'T get roped into making coffee.. which i was happy about. the epsresso machines at the church are just too confusing. too much work. too much thinking. my brain is seriously empty right now. my facebook status [and yes these are serious around here] says it best: mentally and physically drained. i really should be sleeping. ugghh.
a random thought: chalkboard paint... has anyone used it? does it actually work? like the stuff you paint on the wall and turn the wall into a chalkboard? i need to know ASAP. :)
goooooodnight!!!!!
When did it become September? When did the high schoolers go back to school? When did I turn twenty? When did the fair end? Where did this fall weather come from? I am going to Alabama and Georgia in how long? WHAT??
i have been so busy lately i don't even know what to do!!! our shop bought a drive-thru forza up on south hill... and since then [september 1st], everyone at forza has been scheduled non-stop! its crazyness!!!
i am trying to think of whats new in my life to update everyone on. i will make a list because that always works best for me!
-i am still learning how to swing dance. haha. i am not a pro yet, but i know i will be. its pretty much the funnest thing you could ever do for 7 dollars.
-i am STILL trying to move out. it is such a difficult process!!!
-the launch of bethany's new campus was a HUGE success!! we had over 550 people!! God just blew us away.... i don't even know what else to say! besides all the people, the music rocked, pastor george's message rocked, set up and tear down went smoothly... it was better than i could have ever imagined!!
-my room is unbelievably messy. its so weird for me to have a mess. i am so organized. but i am never home, and so clothes go in one pile, work clothes in another, shoes in another, mail on top of books on top of magazines, and any and all blankets, pillows, and books i am currently reading go on my bed. its so strange!!
- it is starting to look like fall here. just barely though. all of september it has been hot!! uggh!! i am done with summer!!! bring on the chill and the rain and the clouds!! i want fall clothes and sweatshirts and coats and boots!! flips flops should be gone! i want to buy new sweaters! i cant concentrate on football season if it still feels like summer out! whoa, lots of emotion in that. haha. i just like fall, okay?
-okay now for some random pictures taken this month:
[first picture: maddy, matia, and me at the konzelman's concert at the fair... david, derek, drew, and darien. we made some sweet shirts and they had to have a picture with us! haha.]
[second picture: my sweet new backpack which i love!! i feel like a kindergartener going to school with her first backpack. it has all these cool pcokets and clips and stuff, and a place for my laptop. the thing that sold me though was that its green!! woo my favorite color!!!!]
[third picture: my sweet henna tatoo i got at the fair the same day as the konzelman's concert. i pretty much love it.]
[fourth picture: 8 of the orange county chopper's theme bikes were on display at the launch of bethany south hill.]
[fifth picture: a latte art heart i got that i want to learn how to do because it is so darn cool!!!]
i love the fair!
